> It is a hypothetical. I think that's what you're missing. It's not hypothetical. Weapons and drugs are smuggled into county jails every day and these things actually do happen on a fairly regular basis. That's like stating that cars shouldn't be required to have emergency flashers because it's hypothetical to say they will break down and need to use them. It does happen all the time which is why they go to such lengths to prevent it. Do you honestly believe that the corrections staff enjoys shining a flashlight into people's body cavities all day long? Heck no! (Well, maybe a few do, but that's a different discussion). They do it because it's necessary, not because they have secret desires to open a colonoscopy clinic.

Speed limits are set for safety based on the design of the road and expected use patterns, for safety, but I don't hear anyone complaining that they violate someone's personal liberty to operate their motor vehicle. -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:349395 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
